American Boy Lullaby Poem by Atty Davis

American Boy come sleep with me
Or at least come lay under the stars....boy
Time has been a good friend to us
But soon he will leave us wanting

American Boy have some faith
Some faith that all will be well....boy
Let's choose not to leave this place
Not run with hopes that our dreams will come true
Not run, run just to find
We keep on goin'

American Boy my heart is yours
But my mind...my mind is so weary
So tired and so weary, man
A jaded fool I've become,
Spirit broken, but continue to fight
Sold my soul, just to find....I'm still dying

Dying despite the things we're pursuing
New cars, more house
No time for just living
Is there value in just being human
Cuz' I'm not sure, the worlds always lookin'
Lookin' at what we got and what we're doin'
Lookin' at what we got and what we're doin'.....

American Boy let's stay right here
Find the peace in who and where we are....boy
Find the freedom of livin' in our own skin
Find the peace and freedom of....
no more wealth chasing

American Boy come sleep with me
Or at least come lay under the stars...boy.
Time has been a good friend to us
But soon he will leave....
Time will leave us wanting.
